A specific area is surrounded and separated from the outside world by upright components set at intervals and erected on the ground. Because the fence is stable and has a horizontally extending, generally rope-shaped cross member, sometimes dog owners will also tie a leash around the cross member to temporarily confine the dog around the fence, or let the dog use the fence. Perform janitorial missions for strongholds. In the case that the dog will not run away to other places, the owner still hopes that the dog can obtain a larger space for movement as much as possible, so the leash will be set on the cross member in a slipknot, so that the set The end slides along the cross member to allow the dog greater range of movement, however, since the cross member is divided into sections by spaced upright members, the sheath The setting end is blocked by the upright member and can only move between a small section, which greatly limits the sliding range of the sleeve end, so there is still room for improvement.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a sliding device that can slide along the fence in a large range.

Therefore, the sliding device of the present invention defines a separation direction and a height direction which are perpendicular to each other. The sliding device includes a pulley frame, a vertical limiter pivotally arranged on the pulley frame, a pulley pivotally arranged on the pulley frame, a bottom surface of the pulley frame facing downward along the height direction Extended hanging part, and a reset part arranged on the pulley frame.
